Next Generation AI:
Understanding How AI Cuts Across Every Industry
A decade ago, very few would have predicted that we would now find ourselves part of a new and exciting era of computing technology driven by Artificial Intelligence.  While AI algorithms have been around for several decades, until fairly recently there were essentially no real world examples of meaningful Deep Learning applications deployed in practice.  Please join Jeff Herbst from Nvidia, who will be interviewed by George Hoyem of InQTel, as they discuss the reasons behind this major new wave of computing, as well as the current and future applications which will continue to drive us toward our AI future.

Building and Running a World Class CVC
Monterey Ballroom
Creating and running a world class CVC fund boils down to two critical factors: Getting the design right and Learning how to think and execute like a Venture Capitalist. Led by Paul Holland, Managing Director of the Corporate Investment Practice at Mach49 and Partner at top-tier Silicon Valley VC fund Foundation Capital, this workshop will cover both these topics.  Paul and his team will lead participants through a set of exercises for designing a CVC and present them with an execution model for delivering great outcomes – all built on best practices from Silicon Valley and top performing CVCs. Global businesses like TDK, Hypertherm, Goodyear and others will be there to share their experiences during the session and an exercise workbook is included. If you are looking to start a CVC or ideas for tuning up the performance of your existing CVC, this workshop is for you.

Session 3:
CVC 2.0: Lessons Learned in a Changing Landscape
Big Sur 1 &2
Facilitated By: Sidley

CVC continues to play an ever-increasing role in the investment landscape. In 2018, US CVC investors more than doubled the value of deals in which they participated and set new highs in deal count (1,065), deal value ($60.8 billion) and number of unique CVC investors (212) and furthermore, CVC portfolio companies first funded between 2008-2012 have completed profitable exits at higher rates and gone bankrupt at much lower rates than companies without CVC investment.*

Join us for an energetic and interactive discussion of the lessons CVCs and entrepreneurs have learned over the last few years with a focus on the larger issues investors and entrepreneurs are tackling such as:  
a. New Entrants to Venture
Early-stage investing is no longer limited to CVCs and financial VC investors  - investors such as sovereign wealth funds, private equity funds, hedge funds and family offices who in the past tended to avoid early-stage investing are starting to get in on the action. However these new entrants have different expectations concerning investment strategy, returns and control and can dramatically impact the investment dynamic. How can this convergence of investors with differing goals and expectations all play well together and avoid the landmines? What impact does it have on the entrepreneur? 
b. What lessons have entrepreneurs learned and what are the take-aways for investors? 
c. How successful has corporate venture capital been and what does the future hold?
